Contrapaso. Los hijos de los otros by Teresa Valero

French comic by Spanish author. 

Set in 1956, Madrid, Franco in power. A journalist investigates a series of murders but the last one is different. This comic has everything, beautiful art, amazing graphic narrative, gripping story, well documented, multilayered story and 3-dimensional characters. Oppression under a dictatorship, political wars, struggles of women at that time, lgbt+ issues... Contrapaso is the closest you can get to a perfect comic. 

I got the Spanish version by #normaeditorial but there is a digital English translation titled Contrapaso 1. The children of others by #eurocomics Go read it. Now!
